I have a tale to tell
Sometimes it gets so hard to hide it well
I was not ready for it all
Too blind to see the writing on the wall
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, 'till then
It will burn inside of me
I know where beauty lives
I've seen it once,
I know the ones she gives.
The lies like that you could never see.
It's shame inside you can't take that from me
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, 'till then
It will burn inside of me
The truth is never far behind
You care to get it well
If I live to the secret I knew, then
Will I ever have the chance again?
If I run away, I'd never have the strength to go very far
How would they hear the biting of my heart?
Will it grow cold, the secrets had my eyes, will I grow old
How will they hear?
When will they learn?
How will they know?
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, 'till then
It will burn inside of me
The truth is never far behind
You care to get it well
If I live to the secret I knew, then
Will I ever have the chance again?
A man can tell a thousand lies
I've learned my lesson well
Hope I live to tell
The secret I have learned, 'till then
It will burn inside of me
